JAVA! JAVA! JAVA!

import java.util.Scanner; class PrimeNumberDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { int n; int status = 1; int num = 3; //For capturing the value of n Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println(“Enter the value of n:”); //The entered value is stored in the var n n = scanner.nextInt(); if (n >= 1)

Well, not THAT kind of JAVA! That is part of ACTUAL JAVA CODE to “…display first n or first 100 prime numbers” .. SERIOUSLY I did not write that! 🤣

MY kind of JAVA is more of the magical liquid elixir that most of us rely on to not only start the day, but to make it through the day! LOL! Ah, is there anything it can’t do! (Apologies to Homer and Donuts in German andanything they can’t do’!)

Victoria has SO MANY FINE COFFEE SHOPS, including at UVic too! Let’s not forget about my favourite coffee spot on campus – The Munchie Bar

Walking into a Starbucks is actually a language lesson with all those Venti, Grande and a size I just learned about … TRENTA! Be warned, it is actually a size that is larger than … the average STOMACH!!!!

And my old friend, Dictionary.com – Order Your Coffee Like A Boss has some background on all those wonderful names for the sizes and kinds of coffee that are out there! Learn something new today… about COFFEE! ENJOY!!!

TTFN!

And if you made it THIS far, a bit of movie humour! How would a Marvel Super Hero, oh, say, Ant Man, order his coffee! LOL! You just need to see the first 1:15 of this for the coffee scene!

 

And if you have not seen Airplane 2, then .. this is about the only good scene!


YouTube Language Translations of Popular Shows

YouTube Translations of 
Popular Shows

YouTube? Translations? Well not quite translations, but clips from popular media (TV and movies) in other languages! Not quite Google Translate (a future post is in the works!) but good for a different perspective of popular shows, iconic moments and just plain .. FUN!

So below are a bunch of YouTube clips from some of my favourite TV shows and movies, all in other languages such as German and Japanese! Just a quick search at YouTube and I found all of these in a short period of time! Most people will instantly know the setting, movie or moments AND the iconic lines, so they offer quite a teaching moment, as well as some fun in learning a new language!

Besides, UVic HAS taught a course in Klingon! Really and for true! Qapla’! Today IS a good day to …  learn a new language!


TTFN!

CHD Workshops – Jeopardy Training!

Computer Help Desk Training
CALL Facility and Jeopardy!

Saturday morning Computer Help Desk workshops are fast becoming THE TRAINING EVENT OF THE YEAR! Come for the technology upgrade, stay for the food!

Over the past few years I have created the perfect blend of technology, training and a hungry, captive (yet paid!) audience, to place them all in …. JEOPARDY!

Below are 5 PowerPoint modules to bring a wee bit of humour to our CHD Saturday morning workshops!

Just click on any of them and the .pdf will download for you! Why a .pdf? OAC does not like PowerPoint files! LOL!

CHD Workshop is actually the first one, and has a brief history of CALL, including vintage photos of CALL, The Great Flood of 2015 and a history of WICKET, the custom written database program used to track student attendance in The CALL Facility!

The others are updated versions of an original PowerPoint Jeopardy presentation created by Sherri Puentes Graveran (CHD) for a Winter Fest a few years ago!

CALL Workshop – What is CALL?

Jeopardy: CALL


Jeopardy II: CALL++


Jeopardy III: Knee-d-ful Things

Jeopardy IV: Endgame

Jeopardy V: Pop Culture
